It sounds like weird colors together, but a dark ocean blue and an avacado green look AWESOME together.

Definetely do not match the countertop to the wall, that would be just wrong. (pale blue) eeeewwww, hates! Re-do the countertop in a “normal” color. Paint your walls off white or cream and then do one accent wall in a deep red wine burgandy color. That is absolutely gorgeous in homes and it would compliment your dark cabinets as well!! Have fun!!

Ok, I think I have a mental picture. If you can’t afford to change the counter tops, you have to work around them. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot, if you measure your counter tops they can give you a pretty good estimate of costs. I would price them first before I did anything else. You said the floors have a blueish gray and that’s the color I would put on the walls. Almost a cream, but with a hint of that blueish gray, it should not clash with the color in the living area, but bring home paint chips to make sure. To tie the blue counter tops with the cabinets I would look for hardware that had blue to match the counter tops, or a brushed silver finish. Good Luck.

You can go to the home depot or lowes for cheap countertops anywhere from 2-500.00 depends on what ya get.
I think a pale yellow on walls and a darker yellow trim would stand out against the dark cabinets..
Pale green (sage) with a white or cream trim.. Or you can always paint it all cream or white and pick a bold color for one wall and use colored accents (vase,plates etc)

you can buy sheets of laminate at Lowes – about 45$ a sheet, so I bet they have a list of contractors who could help with the installation. go there and check that out and while youre there scope out some of their kitchen set ups with dark cabinets, might give you some color scheme ideas, then you can head on over to the paint section. lots of paint chips are now in color cordinated sets with 2 or 3 colors on 1 chip, so you’ll know what looks good with what. have fun!
